Today's Australia is very multicultural with Indigenous peoples and migrants from some 200 countries. Over 250 different languages and dialects are spoken in Australia including 45 Indigenous languages.

Australia’s national currency is the Australian dollar which comes in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 notes. Coins come in 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent and one and two dollar denominations.

Australians drive on the left hand side of the road, watch out when you cross the road – look both ways!

Australians generally use British English for the majority of language, with 'colour' and similar words spelled with a 'u', while words such as 'specialised' use an ‘s’ as opposed to a 'z'.
